Actress Dia Mirza, who has shed her girl next door image to don a glam diva look in her upcoming film 'Acid Factory' said she trained with action director Tinnu Verma to develop the agility her character required.
"An actor's body needs agility to carry off the action or stunt sequence convincingly. The body needs to be in optimum form. I trained to develop it before the film went on floors," Dia, whose character has shades of grey in the movie, told reporters here, unveiling the film's "first look" .
"Besides, it's good to be bad," she said adding her's is the only female character in the film which stars Danny, Fardeen Khan, Irrfan Khan, Aftab Shivdasani, Manoj Bajpayee and Dino Morea.
The film directed by Supran Verma and produced by Sanjay Gupta of White Feather Films will release worldwide on September 3.
Fardeen said he earlier worked with Supran in 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena' also produced by Sanjay Gupta.
"The film did not do well, but I feel actors, directors make a mature transition since the time they make their debuts," he said.
"In 'Acid Factory' actors needed to be in a certain frame of mind. They don't trust each other, but are still part of the same gang," he said.
The special bond shared by all the actors during the course of shooting in Ramoji Rao Film city in Hyderabad and South Africa is a testament of onscreen chemistry, he said.
We discovered each other as friends and people," the actor, looking dapper in a grey suit, said.
On repeating Supran after his failed box office debut, producer Sanjay said he does not look at the director's body of work but the energy level he possesses before signing them on for his banner.
"I like to do films which defy formula and does not go down the beaten path," he said.
Actor Irrfan Khan, fresh from the success of 'NewYork' seemed to be in a jovial mood when many wondered what he was doing in such a stylised Bollywood action flick.
"Supran told me that I will be holding guns and romancing Dia. I said I am in. But then, what about acting ?, and the director told me forget it for once," Irrfan joked.
Gulshan Grover was however, miffed with the producer that despite being an integral part of the film, he was missing from the promos and trailers.
"I would like to believe that it is part of marketing strategy," he said, to which Sanjay Gupta said Gulshan was a surprise package in the film.
